acceptable use - web site linking

[Kevin H]

Linking to 3rd party web sites from posts on this site is quite acceptable providing it is in the context of the discussion and is going to be useful to the majority of people who are reading the thread. If you are linking to a site that you control we would appreciate a reciprocal link on your site.

What is not acceptable in any event (regardless of it's relevance), is blatant use of this site to promote another site. An example of this is repeatedly linking to another site in multiple threads without good reason.

Any URLs which continually crop up in different threads, (particularly if all the posts are by the same person, and/or if they contain advertising), now risk being added to our list of 'unwanted words', which means they will be automatically obfuscated site wide for evermore.
